STRIKING PART OF STEEPLE-CLOCKS.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 11,362, dated July 25, 1854.

7 To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE DEUBLE, of Canton, Stark county, Ohio, have invented new and Improved Machinery for the Striking Part of Eight-Day Steeple-Clocks; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The nature of my invention consists of only two wheels, to wit: Wheel H with seventy eight teeth, wheel I, and screw K.

The wheel H has affixed in it twelve pins not equally apart, the distance'of the smallest space is the distance, the wheel H will move to strike one and so on increasing by one, until it strikes twelve. l/Vheel H, drives the wheel I which has six pinions marked by the letter U, in which, wheel H gears. Wheel I has six pins in it, for draw: ing the hammer as marked by letter V. Wheel I works in the screw K. The beam M has a pin marked V to arrest the screw, by the pin H in the screw, when the wheel H moves around, the pins in the wheel H raise up the beam M, by means of the knee N which is a little movable; when let loose of the pin it rests on, it will spring forward by means of the spring Y on the top of beam M.

l/Vhen the pin of the screw K and beam M touch, the clock has struck the hour. To set it in operation the small wheel 0, as seen in Fig. 2, has a pin A in it. WVhen wheel O moves around it raises up the beam M by the pin A. The knee N springs from the in in wheel H, where it rests. The beam M, falls 01f from the pin A in wheel 0. It lets the pin X in the screw K escape and it will strike until one of the pins in, wheel H will again raise the beam M, and the two pins in screw K and beam M catch.

WVhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

Attaching to the beam or lever M, which is operated by a pin in the wheel O, and is provided with a detent for arresting the fly, the knee N or its equivalent to act in con junction with the pins in the count wheel H as an inclined plane, to raise the lever, till its detents takes efiect, and to escape from the pins when the lever is still further raised by the pin on the wheel O as herein described.

GEORGE DEUBLE.
